    Barnes Powersports (Blackfoot)

    I placed an order from them for 4L of Yamalube 10w50 and they shipped me 1L. I emailed them with a photo on a Saturday and they responded immediately letting me know they'll ship out the 4L one. They were closed on Monday, but someone called me on Tuesday and told me about the mixup and I...

    Chain Maintenance - and go!

    I have a 2022 and this is true. I did this, but the CEL didn't go off while idling, only if you rev it up and get the tire to spin faster than idle. The CEL will not allow you to access the menu, and it went away on it's own after a couple of rides. The new bikes have a 6-pin OBDII...

    Clearing Code? Yamaha 6 Pin ODB2 Adapter

    After all the reading I did, I was convinced I had to use a code reader to clear it! Turned it on this morning, and code disappeared!

    Clearing Code? Yamaha 6 Pin ODB2 Adapter

    I got rear-ended, and finally got the bike fixed. However, when the rear tire was put on we started it up and accelerated to see if everything was spinning correctly. The bike through a CEL due to the front tire not spinning and I cannot clear this code without a scan tool. The bike is 2022...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    $1500, rim alone is $700, about $300 for the tire, inspection was $130, and then labour to install rim/tire, another $150, and then lovely taxes!

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    Thanks for the different perspectives everyone. I've decided not to report it, I got back from the docs and he says everything is ok, but wants me to get x-rays. I feel ok though, will see if anything changes when the x-rays come in. Got my bike checked out as well, rim is bent, so needs new...

    Is my bike ok? Got rear ended!

    I'm waiting in line at Costco gas, and the cars in front start moving. Before I can release the clutch and proceed, I got hit from behind! The impact nudged me forward about a foot or so, it was like a tap on my rear tire, but enough to jolt the bike forward and my back bent backwards a bit...

    Riding etiquettes: honking at distracted drivers?

    One of the first mods I do on my bike is an air horn. https://motorcycleinnovations.ca/collections/horns/products/denali-soundbomb-split-dual-tone-air-horn I usually only need my horn on the highway and the few times I've really required it, it worked like a charm. Most driver's instincts...

    Leaking coolant

    I posted on VFRD regarding this issue and I was told to replace them all since they're about 10 years old. The bike's got 25,000km, the hoses are all soft and not cracking. I guess I could tighten them all down and hope for the best!

    Leaking coolant

    I've got a 2006 VFR800, and inbetween the cylinder banks (the 'V' of the engine) there's a termostat with about 5 hoses coming to it. 3 big ones, and a couple small ones. I have a coolant leak from one of these hoses, or even the thermostat gasket, I can't tell which hose because coolant leaks...

    Is this the future?

    This is not the future.. and here's why: 1. The initial cost of this will be massive. Imagine all the road work that needs to be done, not just to lay the new panels, but for electricity and wires along every stretch of highway underground. 2. Our roads are not clean. Clear glass is the...
